But she’s had no trust where men are concerned ever since her husband walked out when their son, Sammy, was born with cerebral palsy. When she’s forced to work with Mac, a hometown hero and former baseball star recovering from an injury, she’s annoyed. . .then finds she likes him—even loves him. And the feeling’s mutual.  But when love throws Megan a curveball, will she run closer or farther from God—and the man who could be the catch of a lifetime?

Cute story. This caught my eye because of the baseball element. While baseball isn’t a huge part of the story, it was a fun tie in. Enjoyed this sweet story although Megan kinda drove me crazy at times. Good read.

Started a bit slow, but all in all was a good read. has its moments where is tugs at your heart, especially if you are a mom and expecially if you have a big heart for kids with special needs.

I enjoyed everything about this book. It is a beautiful love story with characters that drew me in and held my attention all the way through. You can't help but fall in love with Mac, who takes a special interest in Megan's son, Sammy.

Mac finds Megan much harder to win over, though he quickly finds himself falling head over heels in love with her. This is one of those stories that will make you sigh out loud, especially if you're a romantic at heart. And while it *is* romantic, this story is not filled with sticky sweet moments. The characters have some very real issues and challenges, and find themselves at some tough crossroads.

The baseball theme worried me at first, since I'm not a huge sports fan but the author keeps it in the background, interjecting just enough to make Mac believable. If you haven't read any of Cathy's books yet, start with this one!

Felt like this story skipped ahead so much it was hard to follow how much time had passed and what had happened in that period. Didn't understand the character of Janey and what she brought to the story, but I really liked Mac and Sammy. Megan had been really hurt in the past and struggled with trusting, but I saw growth in her as Mac broke down her walls and showed her she could trust him.

It took me a bit to get into this book. I found the main character annoying at first. The first 50 pages are about her being abnorally.upset about a man swering his car to avoid hitting a deer and almost hitting her on a rainy night. I just wanted yell at this chracter....and thought she was nuts.

Was a very good story about learning to trust and to love again. I loved little Sammy and his ability to love and make others feel loved. He was quite the little character.

I really loved this book. It is so easy to get wrapped up in everyday life. I can only imagine taking care of a special needs child alone. When Mac came into her life Megan never imagined what it would lead to.
